the world is e.n.d.i.n.g
every. second, is. fleeting.
minutes. become empty pockets
of moments. no longer,able. to, support
existence;
those. who .see
each; br,eath ,as a tick. on their own
clock; reminding them that
they too are
ending.
run, from. their lungs.
forgettin to. let e a c h insta.nt
take hold, of their. flesh.
because,
even. if father time.  has claws,,, that
lea.ve scars.
at least, etched into their
bones. would be, the
smiles, wide enough.
to convince, the man on. the moon
to. hold, back night,fall. a little longer
letting. this brief, lifetime, linger.
and the ,laughter. that rippled; time, into
deep wrinkles. of prol,o.nged being.
scratches, that. symbol victory's, over. time's
elusive game.
so that. when. our, clocks run. out of time
we can, be winners. without
being the first to the finish line.
leave. our, bodies behind.
as, time capsules.
filled, with. the lives
.claimed
by, patient.
eyes.
enjoy each moment
Prologue: The Devil and the Nymphet

There she ran to the moon lighted alleyway.
Her heart beat fast, blood pressure hyperventilated.
She might be a runaway from somewhere else.
This nymphet seemed to be lost in thoughts.
There by the lamp post stood a coffee shop.
Inside, a silhouette sitting figure awaits.
Every sip dictated the nearing of the nymph.

Suddenly, the door's chimes sang like their head's insanity.
A lost soul meeting a devil of liberty!

Prologue: The Devil and the Nymph

A Poem Series
Juliet R Apr 2015
Sinto a areia entre os meus dedos.
Sinto o cheiro do mar a invadir-me.
Sinto a calma que me transmitem as ondas.

Um dia na praia.
Um dia em que desaparecem os medos
Em que a paz me-os tenta dissuadir
Com as mais puras sensações.

Um dia em que me sinto eu
Sem dar explicação.

Durante os meus dias,
Este é o meu apogeu
O mais alto ponto
O maior clímax
Da felicidade que sinto.

Respiro toda a tranquilidade
Tento que esta fique em mim
E me faça rugir em prol de viver...

Que em vez da sobrevivência
Eu tenha que optar pela vivência
Optar pela respiração voluntária
E não apenas na involuntária por obrigação.

Basta querer.
Arranjar poder.
De me poder mover.
E repor vontades
E liberdades.

Respiração ofegante.
A nostalgia lembra o proibido.
A Saudade amassa e esbofeteia
O ilícito, o ilegal, o que não tem....
A permissão de ser lembrado
Para cá entrar e marca deixar.

RECORD: THIS TIME TOMORROW
FROGMAN: THE KINKS

Magenta: How fraking mental.

Riff Raff: And also ANGEROUS of you.
               You see, when I said that 'we' were to return to Ninetbeen,
               I referred only to Magenta and myself.

               I'm sorry, however, if you found The Word misleading,
               but you see, you are to remain here,
               in Thought, anyway.

Dr. Everett Scott: Great heavens! That's a Colt .42!

Riff Raff: Yes, Dr. Scott.
               A Colt .42 capable of relaying a Time Spiral of Pure Confusions.

Johnny Five: You mean, you're going to confturosel me?
                        What's
                        my
                       crime?

Dr. Everett Scott: You saw what became of the TEMPORAL EDDY.
                             Brads and Janets must be prefected.

Riff Raff: Exactly, Dr. Scott.
               And now, Johnny Five,
               your mono-ch[R]oine has come.
               Say good-bye to all of this...
               and hello to PROL-TARI-DOM!

. . . ]

Stephanie Speck: But you can't be con-a-fused.
                               You're an alive.

The Letter-Ing:  a chronospire of pure confrustration
thirty-third or last
in a series of poems made of quotes
one part to a whole joke
its sum has yet to be totaled
may be more than its parts
subject to change
Rui Serra Jul 2014
Por entre a brisa, de uma manhã húmida, vozes de desespero ecoam nos céus da esperança, ao raiar um novo dia. Cisnes brancos banham-se nas lágrimas vertidas pelo homem, em prol da sua felicidade. O vento sopra, por entre gotas de água, e as sublimes árvores deixam andar ao sabor do vento suas copas.
